Title: Improvements in or relating to Projectile Fuses.
Inventor: ESMONDE-WHITE JOHN
IPC: F42C11/04
Filed: 1912-03-19
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 6757. White, J. Esmonde-. March 19. Projectiles fuses.-Relates to magneto-electric impact fuses, and consists in the employment of a generator with poles fixed to the fuse casing and with a rotary armature. As shown in Fig. 1, the armature c is made to rotate with the field magnets b secured to the fuse casing a by being temporarily coupled with the casing by a clutch h i at the moment of discharge from the gun; this coupling is due to the relative setting-back of the armature on account of its inertia, and the rotation is that imparted to the whole projectile by the rifling; after discharge, the armature is returned forward by a spring f. On impact, the circuit is closed by the forward motion of a contact-piece l, after it has sheared a wire n, and, the armature continuing to rotate, while the rotation of the fuse casing and the projectile is retarded, produces an electric current which ignites the primer k. The fixed contact m may be in the form of a spring, and a spring may be placed behind the movable contact to prevent rebound. The forward position of the armature is determined by a stop e and also, if desired, by arms o, which, however, are swung out by centrifugal force when the armature sets back. A spring may be inserted between the stop e and the armature.
